$3.59 Caviar at Ikea

With financial giants collapsing all around us, caviar may seem like a bit of a faux-pas, an extraneous luxury. Lobster costs around $30 per pound, and truffles are going for $160 an ounce. But you don’t have to give up the good life—if you buy your caviar at Ikea.

The Ikea Swedish Food Market stocks ABBA’s 80-gram jars of chilled lumpfish caviar for a meager $3.59, which ABBA claims gives your food the “extra-luxurious edge of perfection,” and which Ikea urges you to serve on canapés. Sounds like recession luxe to me.
